How does Nameberry decide what the hot baby names for each year? The website explains the process.

Nameberry’s popular names list measures which names attract the largest share of our nearly 250 million page views, versus how many babies actually receive that name. It’s a gauge of parents’ interest in baby names and a predictor of which names will become more popular in the future.

Atticus is the #1 boy name, so a little surprising but cool to see unique names coming back into fashion.
